A long time ago I wanted to code a neogeo emulator but gave up before I even started, I didn't have a clue where to begin.

I am amazed at anyone that can code an emulator from scratch.

Its a given that if you are trying to get into faang you are going to need to spend a considerable amount of time trying to game the interview process by doing as many leetcode problems and mock interviews as you can before the interview. And then still there is no guarantee, even if you ace all rounds and pass all the coding challenges.

I keep coming back to leetcode every few months but I always get stuck on mediums so I'd appreciate any tips you can share!.

One of the most memorable was when I had to build a graph from sql statements, parse the sql statements, determine the dependencies between the sql statements by traversing the syntax tree and ordering the graph based on the dependencies so sql statements on each level could be evaluated in parallel.

It was one of the most fun and interesting projects I've ever worked on, it took me a few days to come up with a Java implementation and after a few bugs I rewrote it in Scala. I think I ended up with some kind of DFS algorithm if I recall, I might give it a shot at implementing it from memory and putting it on github.

I do have a few years of experience with Spark and hadoop if that's worth anything.

Won't be a problem if we use CRISPR to make ourselves smarter first!

Makes sense since Japanese culture is risk averse.

Thanks in advance.
